!Enough Project

Oct 4, 2012 by Judy

This Enough Project is working on the front lines of the most dangerous and conflict riddled areas of Africa. Their mission is to end genocide and crimes against humanity, and like I said focus on areas where some of the world’s worst atrocities occur.  We get the facts on the ground, use rigorous analysis to determine the most sustainable solutions, influence political leaders to adopt our proposals, and mobilize the American public to demand change.  Our strategy is to energize diverse communities – including students, religious groups, activists, business leaders, celebrities, and diaspora networks – to ensure that their voices are heard on some of the most pressing foreign policy and moral challenges facing the world today.

 

Their Campaigns & Initiatives

We are raising awareness and taking action to address human rights crimes in Sudan, South Sudan, Congo, Somalia, and areas of Africa affected by the Lord’s Resistance Army. Join us.

Enough was conceived in 2006 by a small group of concerned policymakers and activists who wanted to transform their frustration about inaction into pragmatic solutions and hope. Co-founded by Africa experts Gayle Smith and John Prendergast, Enough launched in early 2007 as a project of the Center for American Progress. John Bradshaw is Enough’s Executive Director. Enough is based in Washington, DC, and works with concerned citizens, advocates, and policy makers to prevent, mitigate, and resolve crises of genocide and crimes against humanity.

John Prendergast and Don Cheadle are co-authors of the book “The Enough Moment” an empowering and hopeful new book, as they reveal the steps being taken by engaged citizens—”Upstanders”—famous and unknown, here and abroad, to combat genocide, rape, and child soldierdom in Africa, and show how you can be a part of the movement. Discover ways others have made a difference and how to become involved.

The Enough Moment Wall is a site devoted to the stories and videos of others telling when they realized they had to stand up and speak out on human rights issues. There are incredible stories of survival by those who have decided to tell what they have endured. Such amazing courage. We can not ignore the call to action. Have you had an Enough Moment you can tell us about? Please leave your comment below.
